The winners of the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards were announced Sunday during a virtual ceremony, with Watchmen leading with the most wins of the night (11).
It's 2020, large portions of the country are literally on fire, and there's also civil unrest, the ever-growing rise of fascism, and of course a global pandemic — but that will not stop the Television Academy from giving out awards for the best television of 2020, goddamn it. And honestly, the question of who will win on Sunday night isn't a bad distraction right now, especially since ABC says there will be an alpaca named Isabella involved. Below are the nominees for this year's Primetime Emmy Awards, along with my humble predictions as to who will …
The Emmys aren't for a few more days yet but that won't stop Watchmen from achieving awards domination. Today the Television Critics Association announced the winners of the TCA Awards, with the HBO limited series winning four awards, including Program of the Year and the honor of the (gender-neutral) Individual Achievement in Drama for Regina King. While there was no in-person ceremony to celebrate the winners, it was a pretty good virtual awards event in general for HBO, with Watchmen also winning for Outstanding New Program: and Outstanding Achievement In Movie, Miniseries, Or Special. HBO, for …
The game-changing comic series Watchmen defied all the rules and every expectation to become one of the most celebrated and beloved “superhero” stories of all time. It’s only fitting that to pull off the impossible – a sequel series that lived up to the original material -- HBO’s Watchmen would have to do the same. Created by Damon Lindelof, the 9-episode series lovingly reinvented and updated the world created by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, picking up with the iconic “old testament” characters (as the creative team called them) decades later, introducing new characters to share the screen …
IGN is thrilled to announce that two of its writers, Joshua Yehl and Siddhant Adlakha, were recognized as first-place winners at the L.A. Press Club's 62nd Annual Southern California Journalism Awards.
Filmmaker Steph Green has been on a lot of television sets, but rarely is a director given the task of tackling a human story of trauma, an explosive 1980s flashback, a weightless sequence set on a far-off moon, and a giant squid attack all in one episode. That’s the challenge Green was given for her Watchmen episode “Little Fear of Lightning,” but she saw it not as a difficult task but an opportunity to do pretty much everything in the span of one hour of television. Watchmen is one of the most critically acclaimed shows in recent memory, …
When an awards show features over 100 categories of recognition, it's very easy to find both good news and bad news to celebrate. The 72nd annual Emmy Awards were no exception this year, delivering a ton of expected recognition for favorites like Watchmen, The Good Place, and The Handmaid's Tale, while also doling out some serious disappointments. Let's break down the biggest jaw-droppers of the morning, from yet another bad morning for broadcast television and Reese Witherspoon to unexpected triumphs for underseen critical favorites. Surprise: The Emmys Fucking Love Baby Yoda I mean, can you blame …
Not even a pandemic can stop TV critics from having opinions. While there will be no traditional Television Critics Association press tour this summer, the TCA has still announced its nominees for the annual TCA Awards, with HBO's Watchmen, Netflix's Unbelievable, and AMC's Better Call Saul leading the nominations. In the gender-blind acting categories, Cate Blanchett, Regina King, Mark Ruffalo, and Rhea Seehorn are all nominated for Individual Achievement in Drama, while the Individual Achievement in Comedy nominees include Christina Applegate, Elle Fanning, Issa Rae, and Ramy Youssef.

I've always dug the taste of the Peabody Awards. Because they're not beholden to a single medium, nor the result of a grinding publicity machine full of campaigning and FYC ads, they hand out awards to some truly eclectic fare across all of storytelling. Upon the release of their latest award-winners for excellence in 2019 media, 2020 seems to be no different. Previously announced nominees like Watchmen and When They See Us wound up winning, which should come to no surprise to anyone who's seen either of the acclaimed miniseries. But I, for one, am shocked …
